Being that Floyd was so dominant, this may have actually hurt Showtime. The casual fan does not want to want to see Mayweather in the ring unless its someone they think will beat him. Right now the consensus is that there is no one to give him any challenge. This eliminates any interest to watch Floyd from the casual fan. So where do you go from here? I propose ........ .,, ... Mayweather fights winner of alexander vs Kahn.. Garcia on the undercard facing broner vs Maidana.. all this in May.....coming back with the winners facing each other in Sept. All this with intentions on getting a broner vs mayweather fight.. Student vs teacher. then for Canelo...lots of big fights for him..back in may fighting a Cotto or if Goldenboy can get a lara vs trout fight soon ..winner fights Canelo....... ...or they can go the old route by pairing canelo and Floyd on the same cards to boost ppv #s ....... the more I think about floyds situation, I hate to say it but he may need a many paqiou ...who else will casual fans want to see him fight? neither guy last night gained new fans. imo.....btw why cant I use the fukin enter button .. lol whats your 1 yr or 2yr plan if you were golden boy

That's a mistake people keep making. 'Hard core' fans are the ones hell bent on Floyd losing, a lot of casual fans cheer him on.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to see Canelo again, that was his least competitive fight since Baldomir. I agree with him fighting Khan if he beats Alexander, but I wouldn't be surprised if Floyd wants to avenge his little buddies ass whipping at the hands of Maidana first. So I'll go Maidana & Khan for next year.

Not that GBP has much to do with it, CBS is on the hook for the dough.

do you think that the casual fan will be willing to pay to watch Floyd though? Me personally I enjoy watching him dominate. Last night was the equivalent of watching a dominate pedro Martinez on the mound ... fast ball curveball change ups etc Beautiful shit...enjoying it while it lasts. As for canelo , I think golden boy can still build his name or put him in big fights. Not ppv star power though. (as they hoped) They need damage control

Of course they will, they love him.

Canelo is the most popular Boxer from a viewing stand point in Mexican history. There is plenty of star power there. By the end of your plan he'll be a Super Middleweight.

No way Maidana gets a decision over Broner. He'd have to knock him out to win.

He can dominate him too hard to get screwed, like Floyd did to Canelo. Obviously more violently. Your "no ways" have a poor track record Smels, he'll be up against it on the cards but he's going to kick his ass. No doubt about that.

maybe something like this. Floyd waits for the winner of alexander vs khan & takes them
Garcias takes on berto @ 147 to set up the fight vs floyd... I would prefer not to see them fight cause i like the both of them but the biz is the biz.

as far as Canelo goes. he didn't take a bad beating vs floyd. Setting up an easy tune up for a cotto showdown would be a nice look if possible.

Hang on a sec this gets me confused. I thought the genius of Floyd was that he realized hate sells better than love and that his PPV numbers are based on people wanting to see him lose? And the hardcore fanbase counts for zilch in a Floyd PPV.

I thought you had said similar things in the past.

I have and it does. That doesn't mean everyone buying his fights wants him to lose. He has a lot of casual fans.

As for damage control, I'm quite sure Marco Rubio is available.

Isn't Rubio with Top Rank? And he has this habit of upsetting apple carts around 160. I'm not so sure GBP wants to put Canelo in with a guy like him. K-9 might be just what the doctor ordered. I've heard some mention Molina, who I think would be an aweful choice. A Trout rematch is dangerous too given how narrowly Canelo escaped the first time. And Lara is an absolute no no. I guess there is Angulo too, but when Angulo is on I think he could probably hurt Canelo. Again, first fight back I'm not sure GBP wants something like that.

For Mayweather, hard to say where he goes from here. I think some of that will depend on how well this weekend's pay per view actually sold.

You're probably right about Rubio. I thought they just kind of used him for Chavez. I know he was pissed about the drug testing fiasco, so i assumed he was on his own and just had an option with TR if he won.

Canelo is still going to be huge in Mexico. I don't know whether he chooses to fight on Mexican TV against a soft touch or two, or if he goes back onto Showtime against a reasonable opponent. As mediocre as he is, I think anybody in the top 10 at 154-160 is a serious threat to derail him, except for Ishe, so that's who I expect to see him in with next.

I wanna see Floyd vs Lara in May...and Floyd vs GGG in September...that would be awesome. .....I will settle on anyone not named Amir Khan. What a useless fight. Floyd would get his KO.

I don't think Floyd will ever fight Lara. He is also too small for MW and I don't know why people keep mentioning Golovkin's name. Mayweather is not one of those boxers who would go for some crazy challenge. He has already achieved some extraordinary stuff and can easily(by his standard) make 10s of millions whoever he chooses to fight. There's no reason that will compel him to fight Golvkin or other middleweights. I just don't see any names that excite me as possible opponent for Floyd at this moment.

Hey, Jaxa. Let's wait a while and see how Manny is right now. If he is as good as he was in Bradley or JMM fights, he will beat and possibly even knock out Rios, I believe. If not, we'll just have to accept the fact that Manny's career as an elite fighter is over. I have no idea how he is now, but one thing that gives me hope is that Freddie Roach hasn't said anything bad about Manny's condition yet as far as I know, so at least Roach must be thinking that Pac is alright.

I seen pac training, the hand speed is still there. The only question is the chin.

GGG said he would make 154. But we all know FM will not take that fight cause he would die.
His little pot shots will not stop a beast like ggg and if he does shoulder roll, he will have no shoulder when GG lands one shot on F.

Floyd vs. Golovkin wouldn't be any crazier than Napoles fighting Monzon, Duran fighting Hagler, Ezzard Charles fighting Jersey Joe Walcott, or Archie Moor fighting any number of HWs. There's plenty of other examples of smaller men taking on tougher bigger guys than Golovkin. This isn't to say that Golovkin isn't a bad mo fo. But has he shown himself to be on Monzon or Hagler's level? Nope. The real problems with that fight are (a) Floyd won't make it and ( Golovkin is on HBO.

To be honest, I don't think anyone is really clammoring for a Floyd-Golovkin fight either. It would be a very ballsy move to make the fight, but I don't know what it would do for Floyd other than show he's a ballsy mo fo.

If Floyd is going to make a fight at MW, the logical choice is Martinez. The wheels are clearly coming off that race car and Martinez is looking more and more vulnerable. That's a winnable fight and one that would have some historical significance. It would be the crowning achievement of Floyd's career. And even though Martinez is not a natural 160 lbr, he's past his best and isn't all that well known outside of boxing's hard-core, it would still be a very marketable fight because it's Floyd fighting for "THE LINEAL MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE." I don't think that fight will happen, but it's a far more likely option than Golovkin.

As for Lara, I think he would [pesent problems for Floyd. But I don't think that would be a fun fight to watch. In fact, it would probably suck in terms of action. I don't see Floyd looking to fight an unknown southpaw jr. middleweight with no real fan base of his own who might make him look bad (even if Floyd were to win).
